Patients have more choices than ever before about new procedures and treatments. The proliferation of medical news in the popular media fuels unrealistic expectations for a perfect outcome, making a truly Informed Consent more important than ever. However, Informed Consent continues to be a source of medical error and medical malpractice claims. Obtaining consent is sometimes delegated to someone other than the physician performing the procedure; it is sometimes reduced to obtaining a signature on a piece of paper. As a result, written consent can be perceived by the patient as a waiver of liability for the physician and facility, and not a benefit to the patient. A recent journal article has proposed a return to the original intent of the consent process: Patient Education. It is believed that returning to an educational model will result in a better educated, more medically compliant patient population with better outcomes and fewer lawsuits. This Internet educational activity will inform practitioners of the necessary components of the consent process and how these may be integrated into an educational model.
